"Right," Shock said, a devious smirk on her lips. "He also created that new agent to dissolve it faster because of it. Which is useful when we spill it on ourselves, but not so much for trouble."

A pause.

"...Unless we're making something come undone."

Shock put the fog juice bottle back and gestured for Carver to follow her back into the main room. She then pointed to a calendar on the wall and concentrated for a few seconds. The pages lifted from September and October to show November.

"Because we're going to make the whole town skip Halloween," she said, "or at least, we're going to make them [i]think[/i] they missed it."

Shock moved her hand and the calendar pages fell back down to reveal September again. She flexed her hand, knowing she'd need to concentrate more to truly make this work, at least enough to hold the fog juice bottle up for a minute. Every part of this plan would take some time and effort, but the pay-off would be more than worth it.

"We'll get the fog juice later," she said as she headed for the front entrance. "We're going to need a [i]lot[/i] of forget-me-lots to make this work."

That sent him into a fit of giggles.

"We could torment him for days!"

Barrel didn't catch her wink, but he was already thinking about who they could give such a potion to. Clown? The Mayor? Wolfman? One of the vampires? He looked back at Agatha, and noticed her eyeing him again. She really [i]wasn't[/i] going to let him out of her sight for a minute, was she? Barrel shoved his hands in his hoodie pocket and leaned against the other end of the shelf. His hands were accounted for, and he wasn't going anywhere, so maybe he could get her to lower her guard. He raised a brow in interest, and smiled again.

"It sounds like you've already got someone in mind," he said.
